Underground station Santo Domingo, Madrid, Spain #234165351
Description
Continental Europeââ¬â¢s most extensive underground rail transport network, the Madrid Metro, has transformed the life of Europeââ¬â¢s third-largest city. Financing this project initially met with stiff resistance: scepticism was voiced about the logic of building an underground rail network in what was then a small city with little road traffic. It was the Spainââ¬â¢s King Alfonso XIII personal donation of one million pesetas roughly ã500,000 in current value that sent persuasive signals to investors. The operating company set up in 1920 was duly christened CompañÃÂa Metropolitana Alfonso XIII, now renamed Metro de Madrid. Santo Domingo is a station on Line 2, located in fare Zone A.
